Chapter 53 – Episode 53 Poison
Back at the lodging, Spia asked worriedly.
“Young master. Did the head of the household say he would support you?”
“No. He said that if you take possession of this place, he will only help you manage it a little.”
Spear’s worries increased.
Originally, gangsters of the underworld live without the law, but they had their own laws among themselves.
And it was against the law to ask a small organization to give up its territory right away, even for a large organization like Jason does.
“The city is different and far away. Do we really need to occupy this place?”
“Did you look around this brothel?”
“Yes. We also did our own research.”
“How do the working ladies look?”
“Yes?”
Spia was also a thief and gangster who worked for the Wolf family.
She was the same woman, but she didn’t look at her whore’s expression as she walked around the brothel.
If the position was different, the view would be different.
Spia was a woman who managed a prostitute, not a woman who worked as a prostitute.
Jason asked Tria.
“How did the working ladies look?”
“They’re all dying.”
“Yes. Others curse at me for making money comfortably by spreading my legs. Prostitute work isn’t all that comfortable either. But this is the worst of them all.”
Jason asked Spia again.
“Do you know why?”
“…Sorry.”
“No, there is nothing to be sorry about. It is because the person who should be managing is not managing.”
A gangster handles the truth while running a brothel.
And the young lady develops service by receiving normal customers.
This was the basic principle on which brothels developed.
Even if everyone else cursed at each other, we were able to create a slightly better working environment by helping each other.
However, if a gangster just accepts money because it is difficult for him to work, then a hell like a San Brunik brothel is created.
Such a thug was something less than a thug.
“And I didn’t fire at Mikel casually. He really knows nothing.”
He was just an idiot who thought he was smart.
“Thugs are words. You have to take care of the people around you more than any other job. Have you seen what these guys are doing right now? It’s dressed up and there are no subordinates. Even if you don’t have to use one award, you have to have a subordinate by your side. Even a small prize should be set.”
There were not one or two gangster bosses whose last years were terrible after being worked on by his right-hand man.
Jason foolishly trusted the boss too much and got the job done the other way around, but that was just a special case.
Gangsters were originally a job for unlearned and cruel guys.
They were more likely to hit betrayal than ordinary people.
To work with these guys, you had to show loyalty through actions, not words. I had to do well as usual.
“If a meteorite fell and Mikel died, what do you think would happen to that organization? No. If a meteorite suddenly falls and your father dies, what do you think will happen to the Wolf family?”
Spear knew one thing for sure.
A superhuman named Demeter will keep her loyalty to the family head.
He will pass the line on to a suitable successor.
But what about Mikel’s organisation? He couldn’t answer for sure.
“He only takes care of his own rice bowl, and he thinks he is smart, but there is no one who is clean in his later years. He takes care of the people around him because he feels good about himself, but he does it because he is really smart.”
Tria laughed and said.
“Then did you even calculate that the young master is good to us?”
“No. I’m just being good to my woman.”
Tria tried to make fun of her proud muppet for a moment, but she stopped at Jason’s words and instead she blushed herself.
She was the same with other women.
**
Jason checked his own status window.
Name: Jason Wolf.
Previous life: Jo Gyu-chan.
Level: Rogue 19. Master Assassination.
Strength: 56.
Agility: 67.
Intelligence: 51.
Charm: 45.
Skill: Assault. Stealth. Martial law. Archery. Throw. Killing. Cancer method.
Among the skills, the most important were assassination and assassination.
Assault is a thief’s basic skill, and the higher the level, the stronger the damage.
And the killing doubled the damage only to surprise.
Of course, no matter how strong this sneak attack was, it was inferior to an attack that a warrior of the same level would wield with all his might.
A warrior could launch a storm-like series of attacks with a single breath.
Rogues deal high damage per blow, but in the end, it is warriors who inflict more damage in the end.
It was only possible to gain a slight advantage over the warrior in the degree of assassin’s killing or barely surprise.
And to secure it, Jason did a lot of devising.
In the dungeon, he attacked first with a bow, then kept hiding, and when the enemy approached, he even attacked with a dagger in both hands.
‘Certainly, this world looks ordinary, but it moves according to the rules like a game.’
The status window and the effect of the skill that miraculously occurred only in certain situations proved it.
Otherwise, the same power would be used, but there would be no nonsense like an assassination attempt.
‘Then I’ll be able to use this more.’
Jason could see the status window and skills.
And he could separate them and experiment with them one by one.
He had enough capital and many colleagues to help him with his experiments.
And Jason asked Spear to get poison for weapons.
“Yes. All right.”
“The thieves here don’t seem to use poison well.”
“Yes. Because the targets that can be used are limited.”
This was fantasy.
Basically, the undead, like the Skeleton Soldiers, didn’t get poison.
It was the same with the golem and the devil. The stronger the monster, the more people who were defense against poison than those who did not.
Besides, the poison did not work well even among the same adventurers.
Dwarves were not completely immune to poison, but had considerable resistance.
And the holy law of the priests was showing excellent performance in deciphering poison.
In addition, crusaders, fighters, and green wizards acquired immunity to poison as they grew.
This is why the thief who needed to use poison the most was focused on making his ambushes stronger than developing poison.
Spia brought snake venom shortly after.
“Here in the marine dungeon, there is a giant sea snake, and they say they extract poison from the snake.”
Jason thought that now that he had gotten the poison, he would have to experiment.
He gathered women.
**
He couldn’t go to the Ocean Dungeon.
If the poison was applied to a dagger or arrow, it would only dissolve quickly in water.
And fortunately, there were other dungeons besides the marine dungeons near Sanburnique.
It was an abandoned temple in the nearby mountains.
It was said that one tribe of Orcs occupied this place.
And the Orc Chief was so strong that even a mid-level adventurer would find it difficult to match.
“It’s like a gyreuk.”
Jason seemed to know why this place wasn’t famous.
Orcs were monsters suitable for low-level adventurers to deal with.
And the Orc Chief is difficult for low-level adventurers to deal with.
Of course, the Adventurers Guild was worried about how to deal with this.
But the orc chieftain was clever.
It did not invade the realm of the empire.
The adventurer’s guild’s budget was limited, and there were more places to spend money than in places like this.
Thanks to this, the Orc Chief lived a long life without becoming a target for the adventurer’s guild.
Now, only those who wanted to become adventurers in San Brunnik visited occasionally and could not return.
However, it was the perfect dungeon for Jason now.
Orcs had no tolerance for poison.
The body was also a little stronger than a human’s, but it was almost the same.
Orcs were so similar that half-orcs were created by raping humans.
It was the best opponent to test poison.
I walked for several days along a road that was hard to tell whether it was a road or a forest.
And Jason’s party arrived at an abandoned temple in the forest.
Nainyar asked Jason.
“Master. Are you going to go alone like last time?”
While Jason was wandering around the dungeons alone, assassinating, the remaining women were led by Nineyar.
So Nainyar stepped forward and asked this question.
“No. This time, it goes normally. Instead, I want to test the poison, so don’t touch anyone I touch unless it’s dangerous.”
“All right.”
Now Jason and the girls are close to graduating as low-level adventurers.
It was enough to be able to fight while slightly looking after the Orcs.
Jason put on his dark goggles this time as well and went out on a reconnaissance first.
I saw 5 orcs.
He first hid, poisoned his arrows, and launched a slaughter.
Fit!
The orc hit by the arrow died instantly.
Even though he was wearing dark goggles, he could see that his chest, which had been hit by a poison arrow, was stained black.
The orcs immediately raised their shields and started running toward the arrows.
Jason ran back.
Orcs were definitely physically better than humans.
It seemed to be twice as fast as most adventurers.
And Jason used the thief’s method of memory, so he ran twice as fast as himself.
It was one of the skills that thieves who went out on reconnaissance and had to do dangerous things must learn.
Then, the four orcs and Jason met the female adventurers waiting in a large room.
Jason went behind Ninyar’s shield.
Nainyar was immediately attached to an orc.
The two shields collided and a contest of strength began.
Nainyar was not at all outmatched by the orcs in strength.
